There's a lot of people saying picking number one doesn't mean much...

And yet they has the choice of Mahomes and Allen and said nah fug that we wanna suck.

mahomes is a outliner... just like brady. yeah ever 5 years you might find a guy like mahomes who has lofty potential and actually live up to it. but those are gambles that payoff. the more sure thing usually goes higher in the draft. not sure what point yout trying to make. 

what even a broken clock is right twice a day argument?

people are just happy to know what it likes to win but the more tape other teams have to prepare, I have a feeling this team is going to get manhandled.
 

Picking 5-10 really is the worst, not enough to build on and you get leftovers of top talent.

I mean that’s what we’ve don for three years straight and yet here we are.

The NFL needs to implement a top five draft lottery to get rid of the tanking.

If you get your wish, that means small market teams will NEVER get the top pick. The NFL would give it to the larger markets. See Charlotte Hornets

 

P.S. If you’re not trolling here, you are truly a dumb motherfuger

The problem I see with the whole "we need the number one pick" argument is that it's based on the notion that if we just get this magical unicorn quarterback, everything else will fall into place.

We actually had that unicorn a few years back, and yes we got close to a championship but we didn't win it, and we never went back.

Why?

Same reason that the Chiefs always seem to be in the thick of it while the Packers nearly always falter.

You need a great team built around that quarterback just as much as you need that quarterback.

There have been teams that have had a great quarterback but not much else. You don't see those teams winning championship trophies.

On the flipside though, you saw a team with a quarterback that wasn't necessarily such a special unicorn but had the right pieces around him win several of the past decades Super Bowls.

Gotta look at the whole picture, not just the center of it.

We just need to get a QB. That is all I care about. We can get him at 1st or 10th. Just draft one finally please.

Going back to 1970 there have only been 3 QBs taken #1 that have won a Super Bowl for the team that drafted them.  Which means every other Super Bowl was won by a QB who wasn't the #1 overall pick, or he was the #1 overall pick but won it with a different team than the one that drafted him (like Baker Mayfield).

Of those guys I would say that Terry Bradshaw is the gold standard.  He only played for the Steelers and there isn't much about his situation that is unusual.  The next guy is Troy Aikman.  What's interesting about Troy is that the Cowboys had so much draft capital from the Herschel Walker trade that they used TWO 1st round picks on QB that year (the other was Steve Walsh).  Peyton Manning is the other guy, and he is what everybody wants.  A guy that comes in and single handedly changes everything about the franchise.  However, it must be said that Peyton also won a Super Bowl with a team that didn't have to tank and get the #1 overall pick to acquire him. 

Actually, you’re incorrect with that first statement.

John Elway was drafted #1 overall in 1983. He won 2 SB’s with Denver (although he wasn’t able to do so until the last 2 years of his career 1997-1998)

Eli Manning went #1 in his draft class. He was drafted by the Chargers, but he never played a down with them because he was moved to the Giants in a trade on draft day that involved Philip Rivers. So, technically he didn’t win a SB with the team that drafted him, but NY Giants were the only team he ever played for in the NFL and he won 2 Super Bowl for the franchise.

How long does that QB last though if we don't have a good enough offensive line to keep them from getting killed?

Fair point. But now that we have a good line we need to prioritize a QB and a top pick would, as people said, give us the pick of the litter. 
Still, for me, I hope during this off-season we can finally start solidifying the most important position on the field.

Correct argument, but since we don't personally have any control over the situation wait and be it shall be.

One thing to keep in mind is that there seems to be a changing of the guard at the QB position. Look at how many teams have subpar QB play this season, and how some of the big names aren't having great seasons. I think we are seeing a shift right now, and maybe picking at the top of the draft isn't the most important thing in the world, especially if the guys that are up there may not be worth that kind of scratch and hype.

It's an interesting time, I mean especially since the wage scale was partly brought about to make picking a QB at 1 not a necessity anymore. This class may not have a superstar qb in it, but I think it's got got some depth that in the right setting can develop into quality.

Don’t get me wrong getting a franchise Quarterback is priority #1 but reaching makes no sense. I rather build a strong roster ideally through the trenches. Also picking number 1 overall doesn’t mean best quarterback. Look at the top 8 QBs right now

Allen Mahomes Jackson Hurts Brady Rodgers  Herbert Burrow

only 1 was taking first overall

    • If you sync both your iPhone and Mac data to iCloud, eventually, storage will fill up again unless you learn how to use it more wisely. So, we’ll go over a few steps  +1-844-476-5438 you can take to quickly free up iCloud storage now and regularly clean up your iCloud in the future. Step 1. Delete duplicate photos on iPhone With iCloud Photo Library enabled on your iPhone, every photo you take gets automatically synced to the cloud. Each individual photo doesn’t take much space, but if you take 3-4 shots every time until you get the one you like, those megabytes quickly add up. One way to deal with it is to rummage through your library and clean out these unneeded photos manually. A faster way is to download CleanMy®Phone. This iPhone app streamlines the process by finding and preselecting similar photos, low-quality shots, and screenshots, so you just need to tap Delete.  With iCloud Photo Library turned on, the photos you delete on your iPhone will also be removed from the cloud, so you’ll easily free up some iCloud space. The app is free to download, so go ahead and try it on your iPhone. Step 2. Find old files in your iCloud Drive Since macOS Sierra, the system automatically stashes old files — like movies you’ve already watched — to iCloud, which helps you save storage on your Mac. But the problem is that these files still occupy space, except now it’s the precious space in your iCloud. To see what you’ve got there and what you can delete, do the following: Sign in to your account at icloud.com. Click Drive. Go through your files and select the ones you no longer need. Click the ellipsis and choose Delete Selected. Do not forget to empty the Recently Deleted folder by clicking Delete All. Done. If you’re using macOS High Sierra, iCloud Drive is also available as a folder in the Finder, so you can do the same on your Mac. Step 3. Clean up junk files on Mac The easiest way to clean up iCloud and free up some much-needed space is to get rid of junk files. These are cache files, unneeded language files, document versions, temporary files, and downloads. When you use iCloud for backups, these files quickly pile up and become real space wasters. You can try and hunt down these files manually, but the process is time-consuming and, well, risky because you can accidentally delete files necessary for the proper functioning of your Mac. Therefore, it is safer and faster to let a dedicated Mac cleaner do the job for you.  We recommend CleanMyMac X. It comes with the System Junk module designed for quick cleanup and a safe selection of files for removal. It deletes only files that will not degrade your Mac’s performance. Here’s how to use this smart tool: Open CleanMyMac X (free download here). Click System Junk > Scan.  You can now click Review Details and select files for deletion or click Clean right away.  Do the same for Sent and Archive.  Now, go to Trash, press Command + A, and click Delete. Alternatively, right-click any email and choose Delete [x] Messages.  It’s a good idea to develop the habit of trashing any email you know you won’t need in the future right away to avoid space-hogging in the first place. Step 4. Delete iCloud emails you don’t need If you’re using an iCloud email account (the one that ends with @icloud.com), all email messages you get are stored in — you guessed it — iCloud. And while emails themselves don’t weigh that much, email attachments do. PDFs, photos, and other files people have sent to you over the months can add up to a few gigabytes, so go over your old correspondence and do some spring cleaning. Once again, log into your account at icloud.com. Click Mail.  Check your Inbox and delete anything you do not need. Right-click an email and choose Trash Message.  Step 5. Delete outdated backups Having iCloud automatically back up your iPhone on a regular basis is a great way to keep your data intact in case something happens to the phone. But the only backup you’re going to need in this case is the most recent one, so there’s no reason to store backups made months ago. This is how you access all your device backups and delete outdated ones: On your Mac, go to System Settings > Apple ID > iCloud. Click Manage and then Backups. Select a backup you want to remove and then click Delete. Step 6. Delete messages and email attachments from iCloud Old messages and attachments also take up a lot of space, so it’s better to delete them. How to delete messages from iCloud? Like with all of the steps above, there are different ways for iPhone and Mac. We’ll start with removing email attachments on Mac and then switch to deleting old messages and message attachments on both Mac and iPhone. In the Mail app on your Mac:  Open Mail.  Select one or several messages. You can also press Command + A to select all messages. Click Message > Remove Attachment(s). Repeat for all mailboxes.  Now, let’s proceed with messages. On your Mac:  Open the Messages app. Right-click the conversation you want to delete and choose Delete. Confirm the deletion. Now, click View > Recently Deleted and delete unneeded conversations once and for all.
    • Last year was torn down enough for me. If they made any progress out of it wtf do you want to just toss it? You keep the best parts upgrade the weak ones. 
    • I was about to say, if Ian Thomas is around none of our TE's has to prove anything.
